Is sceniking backdrops still in business? has anyone ordered from them lately? Let me know I am wanting to order thanks sam.
I have never heard of this company, and a quick search was not helpful.

Were you perhaps referring to Scenic Backdrops-Scenic Express?

I just googled and came up with a website sceniking.com
https://www.sceniking.com/
Let your fingers do the walking.

It's a Canadian company. I'm going from memory which at my age isn't the wisest thing to do but I think I read the couple that were the original owners were getting out of the business and apparently sold it to another company. I apologize if my memory is faulty. I have used lots of their backdrops and highly recommend them.
Yes you are right memory still cooking I know they have a web site but I emailed them several weeks ago an never got a answer I agree there backdrops look good.
Page 69 of the current issue of Model Railroader has a Sceniking ad and their website is still sceniking.com. I had been surprised to see that because I had read the original owners were going out of business. That's why I guessed that they must have sold the business to somebody else but now I'm not sure what the story is.
UPDATE: I went to their website and clicked on their order form and this page came up
Order Forms - Providing backscenes and backgrounds for model railroaders in N scale, HO scale, S scale and O scale, with potential for infinite length. (sceniking.com)
The order form indicates their prices were updated in March 2022. That would seem to indicate they are still in business although I'm still unclear if it is still the original owners running it. The name of the company is now BPH Enterprises. It's been a number of years since I ordered backdrops from them but that name doesn't sound familiar so I wonder if that is the company that bought out the original owners.
In the MR newsletter I received this morning it says in the News and Products section that SceniKing announced two new backdrops for water scenes.
Hay John let me ask you what i was trying to ask Sceniking in the first place if i may? In the online installing info they use spray adhesive but i noted they said the corners tend to curiled did you have this problem? An also what if one used wall paper adhesive ? Thanks
Does anybody know if it is the original husband and wife team that are running the company or did that sell the business? The website seems to still be formatted as I remember it.
